The title caught my attention as I was taking a memoir writing class. It was remarkable how women with diversified backgrounds/lives formed a bond and friendship through their mutual desire of wanting to write a memoir. They had varied reasons for writing a memoir and through their writing found truths and answers about their lives. The story is well written and the characters interesting and engaging. This was my first read by this author and I am definitely happy I decided to purchase and read this wonderful novel. ( ) If books were television shows, this one would be a daytime soap. Early in my career as a stay-at-home mom, I found myself addicted to the soaps. I finally had to discipline myself by refusing to turn on the tv during the day. I must find the discipline to do the same thing with book soaps; I must never put the book on my wish list...just seeing the cover and reading the blurb on the back sets me in motion to reading them and nothing will stop me from reading to the end. Absolutely nothing wrong with book soaps, of course. But with so much wonderful book PBS out there, I must be good and cull the soaps from my wish list. After all, so many books, so little time. I just picked this book off the shelf at the library based on the title. I read the flap and thought it sounded interesting. I started it and finished it in less than two days. I had trouble putting it down. The story is about a group of women who come together to learn how to write their memoirs, but it becomes more than that. They end up becoming the best of friends. They all have reasons for being there, their own "stories". There are some shocking and violent events in the course of the book that I was not totally expecting, but actually I think the book overal would not have worked without those events. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Six very different women come together when they enroll in a university extension's memoir class--a class that is soon transformed into the Memoir Club--a transformative encounter in which their efforts to come to terms with their individual pasts helps them create a new present and the promise of a new future.
